Education

St Nicholas Primary School

We warmly welcome you to our school where “Manners Matter”. Come and experience the warm and friendly environment that we are proud of. Our, “Buddy Groups” add to our supportive atmosphere and sense of belonging.

We enjoy spending time with our mums and dads, parents and grandparents, friends and parishioners on special occasions and during the normal school day. Seeing friendships develop over the years and over time is a real joy.

McCarthy Catholic College

McCarthy Catholic College is a co-educational high school, from years 7 to 12, and a systemic school in the Diocese of Armidale. It was formed in 2000 with the amalgamation of Our Lady of the Rosary College and McCarthy Catholic Senior High School.

McCarthy Catholic College was named after Rev Fr Timothy McCarthy, who was the first resident priest in the New England region (1853 -1864), and continues the traditions in Catholic education of the Dominican Sisters and Christian Brothers who contributed to the culture of both the former schools.
